Meal Prep Sunday Ep23: High Protein Vegan Marry Me Pasta Follow @_plantbaes_ for more easy, healthy recipes đ± All recipes at plantbaes dot com If you spent more than 5 minutes on Foodtok last month, chances are youâve come across a version of the viral âMarry me chicken pastaâ, and if youâre like me, you were probably drooling. Of course, I wanted to veganise it but also make it extra nourishing, and while we were at it, I decided it was going to be this weekâs meal prep. The combo of onions, capsicum, and sundried tomato with creamy cashew sauce, butter beans, spices and greens is unsurprisingly very tasty, and Iâve enjoyed it so much that Iâve made it 3 times already since trying it. To make it high protein (35g per bowl), we used lentil pasta. I love red lentil pasta, Iâve tried so many pulses pasta, and theyâre definitely my favourite texture. Lentils are also easier to digest than most beans, so if youâre still new to the bean life, itâs a great one to stock up on. Serves 4 Ingredients: - 340g lentil pasta - 1/4 cup cashews soaked - 1/4 cup nutritional yeast - 2 cups soy milk - 1 tsp olive oil - 2 onion sliced - 3 garlic cloves minced - 2 capsicum (orange and red) diced - 1.5 cups cooked butterbeans - 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato diced - 1.5 tbsp tomato paste - 1 tsp dry rosemary - 2 tsp cajun spice - 2 tsp smoked paprika - Salt + pepper to taste - 4 cups baby spinach - 1/2 cup chopped parsley - 1/2 lemon juice Instructions: 1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. 2. Blend the cashews, nutritional yeast and soy milk and set aside. 3. To a large pan on medium heat, add the olive oil and onions. Cook for 5 minutes covered. 4. Add the capsicum, garlic and sundried tomatoes, reduce the heat and cook covered for 10 minutes, stirring regularly. 5. Add the butterbean, tomato paste, spices, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly. Stir in the cashew cream. 6. Add the pasta, spinach, lemon juice, and parsley, and stir until the spinach is just wilted. Enjoy! #mealprep #pastalover #highprotein #easyrecipe #vegan
